Nick was very impressive 2 us fans @ Delray Beach & I am convinced we have an up&coming superstar in the making...not 2 mention all the girls following him (usually shirtless) around the grounds...really hope he returns next year

btw Nick hurt his foot in main draw 1st rd & I was right next 2 him when he took the shoe off..pretty swollen so hope he is recovering ok

Nick has come up big in Indian Wells qualis, coming back from a set down to beat the 15th seed Robert Kendrick 2-6 6-4 6-4. Would be really nice for Nick if he could play in his fifth ATP main draw tournament this year. When you take into account his ranking isn't even inside the top 200 and he has played 4 ATP main draws this season and it is only mid March it is quite impressive.

Plus the 22 points he would gain from qualifying won't do him any bad either. Nick is in such good form I wouldn't be suprised at all if he played in all the Grand Slams this year. Remember guys he is only 21 so he is starting to hit good form at the right time. Come on Nick, you can do it.

He's doing a great job in the qualies but needs a main draw win if only to boost his confidence. His one win in a tour level main draw was was back in 2007! It was an excellent victory against world number 59 Querrey in Bangkok but he's since gone on a 6-match losing streak. I like seeing him play tour level qualifiers instead of Challengers as it shows intent. Last year he pretty much only played Challengers.

Indian Wells and Miami are excellent to qualify for because they're pretty much the only events where you are guaranteed not to play a top 32 star in the first round.

He is playing amazing tennis at the moment, yes as you said all he needs is a main draw win to boost his confidence. But in the main draw singles there is a maybe one or two q vs q matches first round if he was to get one of them it would be great because it is a good chance to win also most likely the qualifier will still be better ranked then Nick.

It was pretty disapionting to see Carsten Ball knocked out first round of the qualies, espically against a player ranked outside the top 200, but that was the case with the Lindahl Kendrick senario too.

I think Nick will have a great year, hopefully he can crack the top maybe 140 or 130 before Roland Garros, and maybe even could see him real close to the top 100 at the end of the year. I reckon he and Bernard have a good rival going on maybe not against each other but trying to show how actually good they are, Nick was unlucky to lose at Burnie to Bernard but that time Tomic just snuck over the line but at the AO Wild Card Play Off's Lindahl was lucky enough to win.

For me i think since Klein has come back from suspension thats been when Lindahl has just started to pick up his game, also Klein had such high hopes of a great come back. He has a few points to defend still even though he only played half of the year.

It will be intresting to watch how Lindahl and Tomic compare this year, i think both of them will play most or all of the Grand Slams, i think Lindahl, Guccione or Ball will get the RG WC, but Tomic has to get the Us Open WC anyone would think but it might depend on form coming into them all so don't want to say to much but this is already looking great for Australia, Tomic once again made the second round at AO, Lindahl qualified at Brisbane and Delray Beach, he also got WC's into Sydney and AO. Ball showing good signs in Oz, also in North America, but maybe not so great at the qualifying level this year yet losing to Millot and Harrison. Plus Luczak made his first quarter final in a while in sydney beat a top 20 player. Also played a quarter final in Chile.

Nick is in Canada at the moment, he is through to the QF's. So great work, with his draw that he has got now he should be able to make the final reall without any trouble. Can't wait to see his results in the rest of the Grand Slams, espically at Wimbledon, it would be great for him to play in the main draw there.

Also it would be great to see an all aussie final in Canada between Matosevic vs Lindahl. Good Luck next round.

Just because all the seeded players have been knocked out in his half doesn't mean he is going to have an easy route to the final. I'd be suprised if he didn't reach the semis though. Would be great if he made the final here because he would then jump into the top 200 for the first time in his career and will cement a spot on the challenger tour this year.

Come on Nick, two more matches and you won't have to worry about making ranking cuts for tournaments so much. Matosevic's road to the final looks much more difficult.

Nick has moved to a career high ranking of 210, he has also posted two straight set qualifying wins at ATP Houston on clay. Faces Devvarman tommorow for a place in the main draw. If he can qualify this will be his 5th ATP main draw this year, problem is around this time last year he won quite a few matches and they were all in consecutive weeks. So Nick is going to have to have a few big weeks or consecutively make quarterfinals, either way I think by Roland Garros he'll definetly be in top 200.

With Nick having results like these and Bernard getting knocked out first rounds in Italy I think Nick is really putting his hand up for the RG wildcard. I'd probably prefer Lindahl to play RG than Bernard at the moment.
